First off, the only readily available screen saver with any sorto dancin' bear is for PC's and clones, working in the Windows environment. To get it runnin' ya need two files, dbear.zip and vbrun200.zip. Once you get them, you need to unzip both , then put the dbear files and vbrun200.dll into your Windows directory. If you then open Windows and click on the desktop icon in the Control Panel folder in the Main Folder of Windows, Dancin' Bear should be one of the screen saver options. [If you have Norton desktop check for its appearance in the Sleeper icon that houses all the screen savers.]
Now, to get the files, ya gotta grab 'em off a ftp site. Remember that they are both binary, so set your file type to binary before transferring them [under Mosaic, select "Load to Local Disk" from the Options menu]. The location of the files are as follows:
site dir file
nic.funet.fi /pub/msdos/windows/desktop dbear.zip
gatekeeper.dec.com /pub/micro/msdos/win3/desktop dbear.zip
winftp.cica.indiana.edu /pub/pc/win3/desktop dbear.zip
wuarchive.wustl.edu /systems/ibmpc/win3/util vbrun200.zip
or vbrun300.exe
or
gatekeeper.dec.com /.f/micro/msdos/win3/util vbrun200.zip
or vbrun300.exe
Among other places, no doubt. Good luck, and enjoy. For Mac-users,
there is unfortunately no screen saver currently available. If you
have a copy of the After Dark program containing the module Globe, and
you also possess a Mac startup screen that was either posted to the
net or formerly available at the ftp site then you could conceivably
paste the bears from that startup screen into Globe and make yourself
one, but in lieu of something along those lines you'll have to wait
and see if GDM comes up with a DDSS version for the Mac. DDSS is the
Digital Dead Screen Saver which should be released by GDM about the
time Windows '95 comes out.
